| dc.description.abstract | Different grapefruit powders obtained by freeze drying and spray drying with prior addition of shell materials (arabic gum and bamboo fiber) were studied in order to evaluate the effect of these preservation processes on the retention of antioxidants, in comparison with the freeze-dried fruit with no carriers added. Freeze-dried samples showed above 90% retention of these phytochemicals, while spray-dried samples presented good retention of vitamins but a sharp decrease in of phenolic compounds. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the most significant contribution to DPPH scavenging activity and inhibition of ß-carotene bleaching was provided by phenolic compounds, mostly flavonoids, while the contribution to the reducing power was due to ascorbic acid and a-tocopherol. Therefore, the loss of these compounds in the spray-dried samples resulted in products with lower antioxidant activity. Naringin and narirutin were the major phenolic compounds in all grapefruit samples, although other flavanones present in lower concentration, like hesperidin, neohesperidin didymin, poncirin or melitidin, also showed high correlations with the antioxidant value of the samples. | pt_PT |
